# Use `UpdateMaintenanceWindow` with an Amazon SDK or CLI
The following code examples show how to use `UpdateMaintenanceWindow`.
------
#### [ CLI ]
**Amazon CLI**
**Example 1: To update a maintenance window**
The following `update-maintenance-window` example updates the name of a maintenance window.
```
aws ssm update-maintenance-window \
--window-id "mw-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9" \
--name "My-Renamed-MW"
```
Output:
```
{
"Cutoff": 1,
"Name": "My-Renamed-MW",
"Schedule": "cron(0 16 ? * TUE *)",
"Enabled": true,
"AllowUnassociatedTargets": true,
"WindowId": "mw-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9",
"Duration": 4
}
```
**Example 2: To disable a maintenance window**
The following `update-maintenance-window` example disables a maintenance window.
```
aws ssm update-maintenance-window \
--window-id "mw-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9" \
--no-enabled
```
**Example 3: To enable a maintenance window**
The following `update-maintenance-window` example enables a maintenance window.
```
aws ssm update-maintenance-window \
--window-id "mw-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9" \
--enabled
```
